This year's music is from local favorite Blossomin' Bone. They are a very talented, local band with an ever growing following. They were featured at the Golden Isles Music Awards and have been gaining traction ever since. They will be on the Main Stage at the Brunswick Blessing of the Fleet on Saturday, May 13th, 11 AM - 1:30 PM.

The Brunswick Blessing of the Fleet committee invites area boaters to participate in this year’s Blessing of the Fleet procession. Boaters must fly an American flag to be judged and eligible for prizes and conform to the USCG regulations regarding equipment and personal flotation devices. The best proof of this is the display of the USCG Auxiliary Courtesy Examination Decal. The committee also requires that:
• Vessels must be able to maintain a constant speed of 3 to 5 knots and have a working marine radio with channels 16 and 72.
• Skippers should resist the temptation to overload their boats and should exercise control over their passengers to avoid injuries or casualties.
• Numbers will be assigned to each boat in order of registration. Each boat should display the number so that it is visible to judges on shore by the park.
• Participants not abiding by the rules and regulations will be disqualified and removed from the parade.
• Each captain/boat owner must have adequate liability coverage and agrees to hold GISC harmless from any damage caused prior, during and after the parade.
